Status bar on start after 10.8.2 update

After I updated to 10.8.2, I'm getting a status bar when I wake my laptop up from sleep mode (lid shut). It takes several minutes for the status bar to clear, and the time to update. Then the screen goes dark and I have to press the power button to reawaken the screen for login.
Is anyone else encountering this problem? Any fixes avail?

My apologies. After re-installing the update.... Mail was upgraded to version 6.2 and it started up!
Thanks so much!

Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
And don't get me started on iBooks.
For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

HT4623 iPhone 4S won't start after iOS 6.01 update any ideas

My iPhone 4S won't start after doing the latest update that came out today I believe it was iOS 6.01 or 6.1

Have already tried that to no success. I have hooked it up to the computer and itunes came up saying phone was in recovery mode and needs to be restored.. So im i the middle of trying that. Thanks for the suggestion..!!

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

What does it mean when you get an Apple and a grey status bar during start up of a MacBook Pro?

When I start up my MacBook Pro I get an Apple icon and a grey status bar. Some days the start up goes really fast and other days it takes a few minutes for the computer to start up. My laptop never used to do this. It started a month ago. Is there something I should do to resolve this? Below are my computers spec's:
OS X Yosemite V 10.10.1
MacBook Pro (15-in, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009)
Processor: 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Start up Macintosh HD
Any help someone can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

The boot progress bar with progress bar with a dark background is a new feature for Yosemite and appears for seconds before the desktop loads. It is normal that "some days it goes really fast". Yosemite is heavier than Mavericks and as a result the boot time is slightly longer. On Mavericks it was a little wheel that spun, now it is a progress bar.

Hide status bar from start

I'm having trouble getting the status bar to completely disappear. I have
application.statusBarHidden = YES;
as the first line of
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
But, when I launch in the simulator (haven't tried a phone) the first thing that happens is that the status bar flies up to the top of the screen, followed by my Default.png (with the status bar still showing), and then finally my UIView appears, with no status bar.
I've seen some reference to UIStatusBarHidden and Info.plist, but for the life of my I can't figure out how to get that to work. I did manage to make a key that is UIStatusBarHidden, and set the value to YES but no change.
I know there must be a way to do this!

Am I the only one who seems to have a blank space during the Default.png file loading? I've added the hidden status bar option everywhere yet every time my app launches, there is a blank black space where the status bar should be. Both simulator and the device... is there any way around this? Or do i need to wrtie my own splash screen?
Thanks in advance!

Mail doesn't start after 10.8.2 update

After update to 10.8.2 and not seeing any more updates left to install... rebooted a couple of times but I still see this problem. If anyone knows a fix... some info would be appreciated thx.
After the latest 10.8.2 the mail app won't start. Mail.app is in the applications folder. This is the error message that is displayed.

System Update 3.14 no longer starts after latest Vista (32) updates

I can no longer get System Update to start after the latest set of Microsoft Security updates this week. I receive a message that Visual C++ Runtime has experienced an abnormal termination! I CAN get System update to run IF I update the application properties to run in XP SP2 Compatibility mode! Anyone else experience this?

Well, the problem is solved, and System Update is installed and working.
The root cause of the problem appeared to be that the registry directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE no longer extended "full control" permission to the Administrators user group on my machine. We fixed this by using regedit:
Start... Run... regedit....
select directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, right-click, Permissions...,
press Add... button
enter SYSNAME\Administrators in the text area (SYSNAME is a placeholder for my actual machine name)
OK... OK...
Quit regedit
We diagnosed the problem with the help of IT support from our employer. The problem was blocking installation of new anti-virus software. We had just removed old anti-virus and "internet security" software. Hmm, I wonder if the old security software removed this permission setting as a parting gift.
Hope this is helpful for others who encounter the same symptoms.

I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. Does anyone know how to turn this off b/c it is using all of my battery life? This started after the iOS 5 update.

I have two rotating arrows at the top of my screen next to the 3G symbol. This happened after the iOS 5 update. Does anyone know what it is and how I get it off, it is draining my battery?

At first read, I also thought it sounded a bit snide. Who here has read the entire manual before going to the web for a quick search? (Not me, and in fact, I found my answer - to this very question, by reading this post WAY faster than if I had read the manual. What is so wrong with that?)
That is the beauty of having support forums. If it is a bother to answer, without being snide, one is not obligated to do so. And my apologies if he was not being snide... but there maybe a better way to point out the manual, such as "I have included a link to the searchable manual which may be of assistance to you next time you are puzzled by your iPhone's behaviour".
Just my 2¢.

MacBook Pro wont start after 10.8.3 update

So I tired installing the 10.8.3 update from the app store and every time I did it I got the response that it wasn't downloaded properly, first on bad Internet at my house, then at school I used the really fast Internet and it was the same problem. Then I came here found that a bunch of people had the same problem, so I downloaded the combo update from apple.com from a recommendation by someone here
Now its one big shitstorm, after taking a half hour to install on my MacBook Pro ( its a 13 inch i got last august so its brand new), during the install I was on chrome and it kept freezing about 75% of the install complete I tried to shut every program running, that just froze the entire computer for about 5 minutes, let it finish and it said it needed to restart. It said that something couldn't close and it needed to be force quit, so I did that and let it restart.
It turned off, and started the loading screen with the apple and the gear below it spinning, then it froze, a half hour later it didn't change, i shut it off by holding down the power button and tried to start it again now it will go until the screen with the apple and spinning gear comes and then it will just shut itself off after about 2 minutes, tried safe mode, the bar at the bottom will load about 40% then it shuts off,
What do I do now, anything on my own? can i try and take it into the apple store or did I probably loose everything?

It sounds like your internal drive is failing, or has failed. What backups do you have?

Finder not starting after 10.5.4 update

I'm not sure if this is directly related to the 10.5.4 update since it happened a couple of days after updating.
When the computer starts up, and after I log in, the Finder just shows a blank grey background, with no windows or items on the desktop. The Menu bar is non-existent, except for the right-hand menu-bar items (battery, time, spotlight etc), which appear with no pale menu-bar background.
The Dock works, which means I can launch other apps successfully, including the Safari I'm using now. Once I have launched another app, I cannot switch to the Finder. Clicking on the Finder's icon, gives me 'Application not responding, Hide, Relaunch', but relaunching has no effect.

Nothing's changed after that. There's a couple of user accounts on the computer, and I tried deleting the com.apple.finder.plist in all of them. I've also restarted in Single User mode, and fsck-ed, put the computer into firewire target disk mode and run disk utility from another machine. No joy.

Menu Bar Items Missing after Safari 3.1 update

Installed Safari 3.1 and restarted; menu bar items Time, Date, and Volume icon are now missing, and Safari 3.1 and Mail crash on launch. Trashed com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restarted--no difference.
Tried reinstalling the 10.4.11 PPC update and Safari 3.0.4 and Mail now work, but menu bar icons still missing. System Preferences for these items stick, but nothing appears in menu bar. This seems to be a recurring issue with Mac OS X, but Apple isn't helping people by telling them how to fix it, or changing their updates so it doesn't happen to begin with.
Ideas or suggestions to fix this are appreciated.

What are permissions?
Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions—settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
What does repairing permissions do?
The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings.
(In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, repairing permissions also performs one other, unrelated, task: If the invisible /tmp symbolic link—which is linked to the /private/tmp directory—is missing, the link will be recreated.)
Why is it necessary to repair permissions?
If permissions on particular files are “incorrect”—i.e., not what Mac OS X expects them to be or not what they need to be for your Mac’s normal operation—you can experience problems when the operating system tries to access or modify those files. For example, you may have trouble logging in to your account, printing, launching applications, or even starting up your Mac. Similarly, if an application—from Apple or a third-party developer—needs access to a particular file or folder to function, and the permissions on that item have changed in a way that prevents such access, the application may not function properly (or at all). The Repair Disk Permissions function can fix such problems by ensuring that certain files have the correct permissions.
There’s also a security element here: Many system-level files have permissions set a particular way so that applications or users that shouldn’t be meddling with those files can’t. If the permissions on certain system-level files somehow get changed so that access to those files is no longer restricted, you’ve got the potential for a major security issue. Repairing permissions can resolve such issues by resetting permissions on those files to prevent unauthorized access.
How do I repair permissions?
The Repair Disk Permissions function is part of Apple’s Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After launching Disk Utility, select the desired disk—generally your startup disk—in the list to the left, then click the First Aid tab. At the bottom of the First Aid panel, click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (You could instead use the Verify Disk Permissions option to preview any potential repairs before performing them, but for most users there’s little benefit from this extra step.)
Permissions can also be repaired via the shell (Terminal) by using the command sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. However, it’s unlikely that the typical user will ever need to perform the task in this manner. It’s useful if for some reason Disk Utility itself won’t launch, or for repairing permissions on a remote Mac when connected via Remote Login (SSH), but otherwise you’re just as well served using Disk Utility.
How does the Repair Disk Permissions function know what the “correct” permissions are?
When you use Apple’s Installer utility to install software (such as Mac OS X itself or an OS X update), the installation package (the .pkg file you double-click to begin installation, or that Software Update downloads in the background for an automatic installation) generally leaves behind a receipt—a smaller Mac OS X package that includes information about every file installed, including the permissions each file should have. This receipt is placed in /Library/Receipts. When you run the Repair Disk Permissions function, it examines the receipts in the /Library/Receipts directory of the disk being repaired—which means the feature works only on volumes with Mac OS X installed—and compares the information in the receipt with the actual files on your drive. If the Repair Disk Permissions function finds a file with permissions that differ from what a receipt claims they should be, that file’s permissions are reset to their receipt-specified values. (If you’re curious about the information contained in a receipt, the easiest way to view it is to use the utility Pacifist; simply drag and drop the appropriate receipt into the Pacifist window and you’ll be presented with a list of all files installed by the similarly-named installation package, along with each file’s original permissions.)
It’s worth noting here that although the function is called “Repair Disk Permissions,” what is actually happening is that files’ permissions are being reset or restored to a particular state. It’s possible—though not common—for a particular file’s permissions to differ from what a receipt claims they should be without those permissions actually being “broken.”
Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?
No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function. This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other user-level files.
If repairing permissions is useful in general, why doesn’t Apple recommend it as routine maintenance?
Apple does, quite explicitly:
It’s a good idea to repair disk permissions as a regular maintenance task after upgrading or installing new software.

HELP ! my ibook wont start after downloading 9.1 update

Hi
i decided to update my os 9.0 on my old ibook, and downloaded all the updates that needed to be installed, i started off with installing the 9.04 update, and after that was installed i ran the 9.1 update, during the installation the system promted for a reboot, and after that my ibook locks up when the "loading" bar is in the middle in the starting screen,,, i dont have much mac xpereince, so i would realy apprrecieate any help !

Hi, honkatped -
Just happened to be around.
Okay - if it boots okay with Extensions Off, then it would appear you have an extensions conflict of some kind.
Re-installing the OS would not fix that. Instead, it will take a bit of work to find what is causing the problem - it may be an incompatibility with some 3rd-party software item.
First, restart - immediately hold down the Spacebar, keep it held down until Extensions Manager opens; it should do that just before extensions start to load (just before the march of icons across the screen starts).
Once Extensions Manager opens, select Mac OS Base from the Selected Set pulldown menu near the top of the Extensions Manager window. Then continue the startup.
If that boots okay, select Mac OS All as the Selected Set in Extensions Manager, and restart. If that boots okay, then some more work will be needed to isolate the offender. Let us know how it goes to that point.
